Which is basically just another Skylake refresh, with some little enhancements here and there. Very probably won't do very much to the IPC. The main improvement of Cannonlake is the 10nm process, which only comes for mobile (due to many problems with the process), and it's desktop/server counterpart Coffee Lake apparently won't even get all the improvements of Cannonlake.

Yes, CoffeeLake is a refinement but the point was that Matt was suggesting to wait for the optimizations from AMD in Q2 yet that will pit it up against Intel's own optimizations.  CannonLake, the next process shift, may even show up before the end of the year and they will have 6 core consumer dekstop options.

Cannonlake will be mobile only, no desktop or server processors will be made with Cannonlake. That's why Coffee lake is coming out around the same time, it's basically just it's unshrinked desktop/server variant.
